MIE-SPPU Institute of Higher Education is proud to celebrate the latest literary contribution of our esteemed Academic Director, Prof. Bimalendu B. Nath. A distinguished scholar, educator, and researcher, Prof. Nath has been at the forefront of scientific inquiry for over three decades. His latest book, a compelling exploration of the history of life on Earth and the dramatic episodes of mass extinction, offers an insightful narrative that bridges the past, present, and future of biodiversity.
This book is more than just a chronicle of lost worlds—it is a profound reflection on the fragility of life and the resilience of nature. Through vivid storytelling and scientific analysis, Prof. Nath takes readers on a journey across time, unraveling the mysteries of ancient life forms and the catastrophic events that led to their demise. From the dominance of prehistoric microorganisms to the reign of the dinosaurs, woolly mammoths, and mastodons, he highlights how Earth's biodiversity has continuously evolved—and how it has been repeatedly tested by nature’s unforgiving forces.
At the heart of the book lies a crucial message: we are now at a turning point in Earth's history, facing an environmental crisis that could trigger yet another mass extinction. Prof. Nath challenges readers to consider humanity’s role in accelerating biodiversity loss and urges action to safeguard the future of life on our planet. By drawing upon scientific evidence and ecological insights, he presents thought-provoking perspectives on conservation, sustainability, and the urgent steps needed to prevent further ecological collapse.
This latest work is a testament to Prof. Nath’s lifelong commitment to science and education. As an Emeritus Professor at Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, India, and the current Director of MIE-SPPU Institute of Higher Education, Doha, Qatar, he has made significant contributions to the study of genetics, evolution, and climate change. His extensive research on environmental stress and adaptive processes in animals has informed many national and international projects, and his passion for science communication continues to inspire students and researchers worldwide.
